A four-month-old puppy barely starting out in life is in desperate need of help. Baby Lucas was hit by a car, and his back leg was torn apart. His family rushed him to an emergency veterinarian where the puppy’s injuries were cleaned and bandaged; they spent $500 on Lucas’ care, but there was more. Lucas would have to have his leg amputated.
“The family called multiple vets trying to get a quote for an amputation, but no one would give a quote over the phone,” posted Houston & Harris County Animal Volunteers on social media Saturday.
Unfortunately, as the family removed the puppy’s bandages two days later, they realized his injury had gotten worse and because of lack of money for his continued care, the family surrendered him to the Harris County Animal Shelter where they hoped a rescue organization could help their puppy.
The shelter immediately administered pain medication to Lucas, but he needs emergency medical treatment at a full service veterinarian to save his life. The puppy is described as “super sweet.”
